    8x32 UVHD+ vs 7x35 Retrovid

    Hi ZDHart, if you want a bit of putting off i.e. convincing to put away your credit card, I'd just say that in my own experience the enjoyment of each pair of bins can be diluted the more you have. It hasn't stopped me sometimes getting another one, even so but sooner or later I usually sell...

    8x32 UVHD+ vs 7x35 Retrovid

    Hi Paul, I am as you can see very late with this reply so it is probably no use to you now...but just in case anyway: I have both (as well as an 8x50 since this time yesterday!) and I'd say there is a definite difference. Not in image quality as both are superb but in ease of use. We are...

    8x32 UVHD+ vs 7x35 Retrovid

    Mike, I know just how you feel but hardly dare to give my instinctive advice against 'maybe just have both' as I have so often not heeded it in my own case and then sometimes ended up trading a new item back in because it was a purchase too many. The 8x32 is an exceptionally dinky and...
